AriensCo
AriensCo has been manufacturing outdoor power equipment since 1933. AriensCo is headquartered in Brillion, Wisconsin, a small town with only 3,200 residents. We’re proud of our humble, American roots, but even more proud of our family of brands that expand across the globe. What started as a simple idea in a garage has evolved into a multi-brand company that employs more than 1,700 people. The Ariens family conducted educational programs to teach commercial growers, nurserymen and landscapers how the new Ariens Model A Tiller, powered with an air-cooled engine, `plows as it discs as it harrows.`

About us
AriensCo began in 1933 when Henry Ariens and his three sons – Steve, Leon and Francis –developed the first American-made rotary tiller at a time when other manufacturers were experimenting with imported tillers. It took many years of experimentation, education and perseverance before rotary tilling became accepted as a proven agricultural tool.
Many commercial tiller models followed, all aimed at improving output for vegetable growers around the country. AriensCo introduced the more compact Model B Tiller, the Roller-Tiller, the Multi-Tiller Tractor Tiller, the Jitterbug single-row front rotary tiller and the Tillivator RC for celery growers in Florida.
Museum
Housed in our original factory building, the AriensCo museum features interactive exhibits and vintage equipment revealing how our machines shaped the American landscape.
4 Generations
AriensCo was established in 1933 by Brillion, Wisconsin resident Henry Ariens. Since then, the company has been passed down, son to son, for four generations. Over the course of nearly 90 years, our company’s zip code, along with our CEOs’ last names have remained the same. That’s our commitment to local, family-run manufacturing, and we don’t plan on changing.
